all in the backdrop of a white Texas sheriff's deputy execution in cold blood by a Black man last month.

A photograph of graffiti with a 'shoot the cops' message was posted to Facebook by the Austin Police Association on Tuesday, according to KTBC-TV reporter Noelle Newton who posted the photo to Twitter. The graffiti was reportedly found in South Austin.

KLBJ-AM/FM reported on the graffiti with a statement from Austin Police Aassociation President Ken Casaday. Casaday said the graffit was found by an officer responding to a 911 call at a South Austin convenience store who saw it on the back of a bathroom door at the store.

"Casaday said the note was discovered by an officer who responded to a 9-1-1 call at the store and went to use the restroom. He says they're now working to identify who wrote it."

The posting of the 'shoot the cops/Black Lives Matter' photo by the Austin Police Association came soon after Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo made a statement, reported by KVUE-TV praising Black Lives Matter as a peaceful movement that does not wish to harm police.
